Great post! Thanks. I’ve had comments over the years on the occasional purple end of my prose spectrum and I’ve cut so much of it. I don’t want to cut more metaphors as I feel they’re part of me and my style. However, I had one more commentor this morning remark that a few of my descriptions slowed down the flow of his reading. Of course, this is a subjective thing, but I’m really hoping my metaphors won’t stop an agent. If I have to go back through and cut some of the “art” from my artwork, I think I’ll feel like there’s no point in making art, ya know? I’ve killed beloved darling scenes and I recognize why I had to. But these metaphors say so much in one compact sentence, I hate to lose that. Obviously, I’m still trying to justify keeping them. LOL
